No. Because I don't like to insult people. I feel I'm better than that.

Did you just claim to be better than me?

If a friend is telling you a funny story while you are on the phone and you tell them to shut up, it doesn't mean you don't like hearing funny stories from your friend, it just means you were in no mood to hear it at the time.

Just because he said he'd give you a bad review doesn't mean you have a bad voice; it means he didn't want to hear you sing at the time.


Honestly it just sounds like he's kind of a prick and you're too sensitive and overly aware/concerned with other people and their opinions.

In another room through walls and a wooden door when I was barely loud enough to hear myself (and if I was being too loud, then even running the water to wash my hands is too loud and apparently a disturbance) is not interfering with another person's experience when said person is watching TV and quite audibly. *shrugs*

And yeah, he is. That's what the rant is about. And I don't understand how others can not be at least the slightest bit aware of other people and their opinions of oneself.

Then I would have hit him where it hurts by singing Der Erlkönig in a loud, cartoony voice.
and after that, delivered a swift kick to the crotch.

1) Living with roommates is tough. People get on each others nerves.

2) That said, your singing might just annoying. Regardless of how good you are, singing where others can hear you comes off as pertentious. I don't know if I spelled that right, but the point is this: It appears as if you are saying "of course you don't mind me singing, I sound good".

There are a couple people at work who sing in the break areas, halls, whatever. It's annoying.

3) I echo some of the others comments here - if you want to sing, don't worry about your roommate. He's annoyed by it and possibly envious. Either way, nothing you can do about it.
